Love is Electric- joe and dianne one shots

goodbyes

Dianne zipped up her suitcase after a long few hours of rushed last minute packing. She picked it up off the bed, struggling with how heavy it was and put it down on the floor seeing joe stood leaning againts the door frame, holding back tears. She couldn't help but get emotional herself when she saw him like that. A single tear fell from her eye rolling down her cheek as she let out a deep shakey breath. Joe followed a few seconds later, a tear falling from his eye, which was when he felt her arms wrap around his body, a her head rest againts his chest. Her held her tightly in his arms, hiding his face in her flowy red hair.

"I'm going to miss you so much"
She cried into his chest

"I'll miss you too"
Joe whispered into her ear, stuttering his words, all the emotions taking over. He had never cried like this before infront of dianne, but he didn't care how it made him look.

"I dont know how I'm going to do this"
Dianne said

"I know, me too, but we'll get through it. Promise"
Joe told her

Dianne a few months ago had come to the very difficult decision that she wanted to stop dancing professionally so her and joe could pursue having a family. When she spoke to joe about it for the very first time, he was shocked, but happy they were going to start this new adventure together. However dianne explained she wasn't quite ready yet. She wanted children desperately, she was ready for that but she couldn't bring herself to suddenly stop dancing, which was when she told joe she had decided to go back onto burn the floor to finish her dance career. She wanted to finish where she had started all those years ago. Joe thought it was amazing, so did dianne but the leg of the tour dianne could do was 8 months long, which meant they would have to spend 8 long months apart.

"I dont want to leave you"
Dianne said

"I don't want you to leave me"
Joe told her, both of them crying into eachother.

"Oh joe look at us were both emotional wrecks"
Dianne giggled a little wiping away Joe's tears with her thumb.

"I know but you're leaving for so long, its....sad."
He said

"Will you come to a few of the shows at least? I cant bear to go that long without you. Even if I just see you for a weekend out of the 240 days I'm away"
She asked

"Of course. I wont beable to follow you around every where but I'll book a few shows, the ones that have seats available and are within a decent distance, even though I would travel to the end of the earth to see you"
He told her

"Oh my god don't. I'm already emotional enough"
Dianne melted at his little comment, crying harder into his chest. Joe ran one of his hands through her hair, kissing her forehead, trying to hold back his tears. He hated seeing her upset but they were both in this together now. They had to support eachother rather than just one support the other.

"You'll be fine my love. It's going to be hard but you'll be ok. You're going to do so well on this tour. I'm so proud of you"
He lifted her chin with his finger  bringing his lips to hers, kissing her softly before gently rubbing off her smudged lipstick.

"Its just so long we'll be going without seeing eachother"
She stuttered

"I know but you do this with your parents. Remember in lockdown when you went that long without seeing them, you got through that"
He reminded her

"Its not the same. You're my boyfriend and I love you...."
Dianne wiped away her tears

"I love you too"
He ran his finger over the back of her neck, where her tattoo was.

"I know we've been apart loads of times before but it's just this long you know. We havent been apart for this long before, no where near this long. I get such bad separation anxiety even if I'm spending a night away from you, and its going to be like that for 8 months"
She told him
